There is a scarcity of leadership in our world. The idea that “There are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians” is a myth. Just ask any leader of a growing business or ministry and they’ll tell you one of their biggest problems is not having enough people with leadership traits.

Wherever there’s a need, there is always an opportunity, so anyone who is stepping into their leadership is opening new doors and increasing their value by leaps and bounds! Leadership traits can absolutely be developed for anyone who is just willing to apply themselves. Here are 7 leadership traits:

1. VISION
Having perception and foresight to imagine what can be done; To define and clarify a mission and setting goals to get there.

2. PASSION
Having a fire in your heart to incite enthusiasm in others by sparking a fire in their heart. This is what drives the vision.

3. INITIATIVE
To take charge and make it happen; To be the first to make a move and demonstrate what can be done.

4. EMPOWERMENT
To encourage & equip; To train & motivate and inspire for the purpose at hand.
